Original Steam description
A 2D turn-based dungeon crawler puzzle game where you play as a dwarf.
The game contains no words. It is entirely symbolic, using icons and emojis to convey information and meaning.
Every move counts. The game is turn-based, but turns advance automatically if you wait too long — forcing quick thinking and smart decisions as you solve puzzles, navigate traps, and escape dangerous dungeons. The game has 3 types of maps to play.
